turtle wax hybrid solutions ceramic spray on enclave
Another quick review of a new product I used. There are many reviews on this product but one more may not hurt
This is a 2008 buick enclave with 150 000 miles, its been driving all year long including harsh winters in Canada. It has also been driving from toronto to miami 4 times and it has always been kept parked outside. I do not wash this car regularly , I try to do it once every 2 months or so. No previous ceramic coating applied to this car. Only sealants once or twice a year.
I bought the turtle wax hybrid solutions ceramic spray because it was cheap , on sale and it offered longer durability. I read very good reviews on seal and shine already but I decided to step it up a bit a more. I would've preferred to try turtle wax graphene on this car but it was not available at a time and after seeing the prices on the graphene product, I think I ll stick to this for now
Im not proud of the prepwork on this car, I did iron x , no clay , and a quick hand polish. The car can fit in my garage but its a tight fit and the weather outside is just too cold to do any proper polish. Still , the car was lightly polished in September so that is close enough
Prep work
1- Iron X
2 - Car wash
3 - Hand Polish with M205
4 - Eraser Panel Wipe
5 - turtle wax hybrid solutions ceramic spray 2 coats, 24 hours apart
Review
Application - Spray on , wipe off immediately, very easy to apply and wipe off. I used a suede applicator for this product , the product does not get sticky , its surprisingly very thin , like a diluted product type of feeling. I was a bit worry that it did not feel sticky at all.
Glossiness - Very pleased on this department, the color just pops , it looks pretty damn good on a dark color car. For a 20 dollar product this is truly amazing on this department, assuming this product lasts longer than beadmaker.
Slickness - The surface feels slick , but it is not as slick as other products ( beadmaker, the last coat black ice ), I was not too impressed here, but I was not disappointed .
Durability - I had this product on the car for a few weeks already , it has snow and rain quite a bit lately, it been through 3 car washes and it has seen salt on the road a few times . The product its still there and it still shines like the day I put it on .
Lastly the car keeps itself clean after the snow melts, it reminds me a lot of my ceramic coating on my bmw , where the car just seems to stay clean after rain or snow . Its also easier to clean , ONR washes are very quick and my towel does not get as dirty as before .

Ive been using Turtle Wax Ceramic Wet Wax but Im thinking in using Ceramic Spray as base layer and Wet Wax as a topper.

Yes I was thinking the samething. I m digging the turtle wax line up .
The graphene stuff is tempting too , but at 40$ canadian, its up there in price with other great products.
How do you like the wet wax?
Re: turtle wax hybrid solutions ceramic spray on enclave
Wet Wax is really good. You get really good shine, slickness and water beading.

Oh man...
It's been so long since I had to detail a car on freezing temperatures...
Much respect to you and anyone that's detailing cars in this type of climate...

Re: turtle wax hybrid solutions ceramic spray on enclave
Is a topper like the Wet Wax necessary? I was going to purchase the BlackFire ceramic coating for my black MDX but am not sure how much longer I am going to keep it, so I just purchased the TW Ceramic Spray and am now wondering do I need to top it with something like Wet Wax. I was planning on putting on two coats of the TW Ceramic Spray and not apply a topper.
